Thanks for writing this Sam...appreciate your insights and it clarifies a lot of confusion regarding what we call a church and who constitutes it..Obviously the answer should be simple and direct-the believers who are part of a local body of Christ at a particular place and nothing more.
I would much appreciate if you can write on and build scriptural catergories for what is the "kingdom of God" and what constitues that.. also what are the dangers in calling only the church as the kingdom of God..
We need good voices in India to help all of us come to terms with Biblical definitions on these important matters.
